I'm not sure if I"m out to lunch with my thoughts, but I've been thinking about getting a wave 3 to use in conjunction with the standard furnace. I do like the fact that the standard blast furnace heats the camper up quickly. If i'm sleeping in the cold, it would be nice to have constant...

Leadslead, I do recall your story. That is one of the main ideas why I've been considering the 3/4T or 1T. I also don't need to worry so much about overloading! I've test driven a few superduty's and They're beasts. I imagine it wouldn't be a good parking lot rig but it won't get used for...

Hey guys, Just looking for a little recommendations and thoughts. I currently have a Hawk sitting on a 1997 Chevy 1/2. As we've found out, the Hawk weighs quite a bit more than expected. The truck handles it ok. It's a relatively larger half ton but I'm not sure if more would be ideal. I...

Fellow rock sniffer here too. I too wish I had more than just weekends to wander...

I currently use the Ctek charger. In the package, it comes with clamps and rings which can be attached with a quick connect style plug. I leave the "O" ring on the battery and just disconnect the plug when not in use. If I'm parking the camper near an outlet, I just plug the camper in and...

Getting real close to ordering a new FWC from the factory. It is very hard to find FWC's where I am from. I did notice 2 on the road. One driver pulled over at my request and offered her input. (She loved it of course). I loitered around the other one which was parked for about 45 mins with no...

I had a trailer before I got my FWC. In all honesty, I think it was smaller than the Hawk. I had a 1973 boler. Sweet little unit but it was brutal for me to sleep in. I'm 6'3" and couldn't stretch out completely. The trailer has its ups and downs, even though mine was so large, would have...

I'm intrigued to try this. http://www.bakonvodka.com/

I hope this isn't too much of a highjack from the original post, apologies if it is! What are your guys thoughts on covering with a tarp or canvas over the winter months? I do not have covered storage available to me either. I didn't cover my camper this past winter, only to discover that I...

No kidding, thats one hot camper! (and not in a good way) I too was thinking that. I was amazed this weekend at how relatively cool my camper remained. My truck is dark red and it heats up way quicker than the Hawk does.

I use mine all the time. I used it this weekend and its so much nice to not have to wrestle the tank out of the hatch, undo the tank, etc. Its not a huge burden but its much nicer now. I much prefer cooking outside than inside

again, will have this fixed next time. Here is a picture with both lights going. So this was a pretty easy swap in my opinion. The only fault I have is the lights are a little too focused for my liking. They've got a brilliant beam, which is sharp but maybe isn't the best for camping. I'll...

uh oh, need to work on attaching smaller pictures next time... I just have large ones at this time, I'll have better ones next time!! I can't believe how hard it is to actually take pictures of lights! Either it was a glare or something rather insignificant. please excuse the lack of...

Hey, I was able to snag a couple LED spot lights and felt they would be a great replacement for the existing halogen lights on the back of my Hawk. I was starting to realize that I was not using my rear spot lights much due to the fact they were such great battery sucks... I think I'll be...

Hey guys, I have been having a battle, similar to many of you guys here on the forum... I want to cook outside/lantern use. I am formerly a dedicated tent camper and on occaision when the better half isn't along, I resort to the tent for old times sake. I usually truck/tent camped, albeit...

Monday, 11Jul11, the departure will start. The FWC is being packed and waiting for the morning sun to rise over the swamp. Just know something will be forgotten, but their are a lot of stores on the route. Hope to see some of the bloggers on the way and safe trips to all. Will be updating...

Hey, Sorry again for a did we pass thread. Its just that these things are few and far between in Canuckistan. You - Goldish colored newer model Tacoma, Eagle FWC. Heading North on Hwy 22, Thursday June 30 Me - Burgundy, older Chevy, Hawk, obviously heading south on 22. Went for some...

Hey guys, Just did a quick weekend trip of 900km with the Hawk. 2/3 of the trip I did at 110km/hr and the rest at 100km/hr. I managed a decent 16.5L/100km. The truck will normally get around 15L/100km. Not too much has been done for modifications, just always well maintained.

Hello, Relatively new Hawk owner here. Been snooping for a while. I will make an introduction thread here soon. So how does one tell if the surepower unit is defective? I'm having some issues with charging my aux. battery. There doesn't really seem to be a fuse or the like on the surepower...
